Ludlow family move legal proceedings on Minister

18 December 2015

Formal legal proceedings are expected to be issued shortly against Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald over the failure to give the family of murdered Louth man Seamus Ludlow a Commission of Investigation.

The Commission was originally proposed in March 2006 following the final report of the independent inquiry into his killing.

Seamus Ludlow was murdered by members of the Red Hand Commandos near his home at Thistle Cross in May 1976. No one has ever been charged in relation to his killing.

Solicitor Kevin Winters told The Michael Reade Show that they've already served pre-action notice on the Minister and the Attorney General.
